You want images that feel like youβ€”authentic, effortless, and entirely your own.

My role is to make sure you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, to keep things fun, relaxed, and stress-free. When the day is done, your images will arrive seamlesslyβ€”beautifully edited, thoughtfully curated, and full of the moments that matter most.

I’ve been a professional photographer for 18 years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to spend my days doing something I love.

I’ve photographed every kind of wedding, from the mansions of Newport, elopements in France and Italy to casual backyard barbecues. I’ve captured every possible weather, lighting, and family dynamic imaginable.

If it’s part of a wedding, I’ve shot itβ€”and I’ve loved every minute.

 Are you a ZS couple? 

My couples come from all kinds of backgrounds, and have all different lifestyles and personal tastes. Their weddings run the gamut from AirBnB micro weddings with 12 guests, to shoes-optional destination weddings, to black-tie cavernous ballrooms. No two events are ever the same, which is, of course, why I love this work.

As different as each client is, however, there are a few core traits that they tend to have in common ...  

 Over the years, I've noticed that my clients have a few things in common...
    

The priority is that your guests have a great time. You want your people right there with you at your wedding to witness and celebrate this adventure. You appreciate them and the effort they are making to support you. You know that family, friends, and community are hugely important in life, and you want them with you always. You want to share your happiness, and let it spread, not show off your happiness and suck in admiration.

A wedding celebration with a group of people cheering and holding sparklers as a newlywed couple walks through the crowd on an outdoor staircase.

You love travel. Not for the selfies, but for the experience. You skip tourist-filled queues to search out the of the soul of a place. You roam winding alleys, try on new habits, and have conversations with locals that stay with you. You seek out the tucked-away spots where people gather over layers of embedded history. You live for the magic of the unfamiliar.

2.

You have an eye for beauty and appreciation for art. Your home tells your story: art on the walls, photographs in frames, memories woven into every corner. You document life not to perform, but to celebrate where you’ve been, because you’re proud of your journey and want to remember.

A black and white photo of a man and woman laughing and dancing outdoors, with a mariachi band playing violins in the background.

You're quick to laugh and never afraid to be silly. You adore each other openlyβ€”compliment freely, hold hands instinctively. Whatever brought you here, you know it’s where you’re meant to be.

You cook. You host. You gather around the table. You create community. Food is one of the ways you show up for the people you love.
